Copper sulphate can he purchased at re-
tail for about fifteen cents per pound, and
its use is attended with very little trouble.
Seed soaked seventeen and one-half hours
in this solution were found 10 produce o
slight amount OF smut. Soaked forty
hours all germs Of the fungus were killed.
Caustic potash, a cheap substance, for sale
In most groceries, or easily Obtained by
teaching wood ashes, was most effective
In destroying all smut within seventeen

soap in water, with enough quicklime to
color the liquid milky white, proved quite
effective. destroying nearly all the smut.
Cattle urine, which has been recommend
ed by some farmers, Is always accessible
and can be profitably used.
